i want to get into film and video.....i've been watchin my mate andys films (youtube andrew rutter, i'm sure he wont mind) and its made me want to give it a go. i love ryan larkin, chris landreth (mainly because of his film about ryan larkin), jan svankmajer and just random stuff but i have fuck all clue how to do any of it!!! does anyone else sometimes feel like there not learnin much at uni. i've lernt loads about myself and i look at things differently now but i mean in the sense of technical stuff....fuck knows y i'm payin 3 grand a year to do jack shit!
jmu drives me up the wall sometimes!!!
does anyone know what the crack is with the PDP shit?!? i got richards email about a meetin n i never have a clue what hes on about when they talk about PDP. yet another thing i have no idea about. i tend to just wing it when it comes to stuff like this but i actually want to understand it....thats y i came to uni in the first place.
works goin slow today.....there seems to be to much crap in my head thats stoppin me from thinkin about my work - for the last half an hour i've been thinkin aout the name Rathbone (i had to go on the 669 to carnatic) and how much of a strange word it is. does anyone else have this problem?!?!!? i really want to just lock myself in a room for like a month and just paint and draw and just do work but thats not possible which is a bit shit. thats y i dont like the studio....u can never just go into your own little world. its probably a bit selfish me wantin to just go into my own world and not have to worry about anythin or anyone else but atleast it would mean that you guys wouldnt have to read my verbal (technically typed) shit!!
has the photography studio at uni got a dark room does anyone no? i want to learn how to develop my own photos....recently knicked my an old nikon (its older than gods dog) and i used a hole 36exp film yesterday. if anyones interested in photography let me know because i had a proper strnage experience just before xmas:
i was at my sisters one night but decided to go home at one in the mornin cause i was ill, so i rung a taxi. n as taxi drivers do, he started makin small talk. he asked if i was a student n what i was studyin so i told him. then he said that he liked art...i thought he was takin the piss! but it turns out that hes a local photographer (john guy - check him out....some awesome photos of concentration camps amongst other things) and he offered me to use his studio and have a look so if any of you are interested let me know n i'll email him - he seemed a nice enough bloke. it did scare me at first cuase he said (and i quote) "i've got a soft spot for students" n i thought eh up, what sort of soft spot you dirty bastard but i've emailed him a few times n i rekon hes legit but who knows?!? he was only doin taxi drivin cause he got robbed and had to use the money he'd bin savin for his studio to live off so just needed some extra cash in his arse pocket. its well strange though....if i'd never got in that taxi i would never have met him and he offerd to let me exhibit and everythin! i'm so excited if it happens.
i'm lovin gettin back into photography but again its somethin i dont know anythin about which is strange cause when i was at college someone thought was a pure photography student and they liked my work but it was only the first time i'd used a camera!! i'm likin the challenge of manual though....its more interestin than digital. i love it wen you take a film to get developed cause you have no idea what your images are going to look like....i guess its sort of like christmas. its all a surprise. i like the element of surprise! but i spose it can get a bit expensive....funnily enough i dont have the money to keep buyin film then gettin it developed (another reason y i want to learn how to develope my own photos) but boots have got a 3 for 2 on films at the mo so i might stock up! the fact i shoot in black n white also adds to the expensive.....dont you just love uni!?!?!
